Change your password

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

Use influx command line interface (CLI) to update your password.

User passwords cannot be updated in the InfluxDB UI.

Change your password using the influx CLI

Use the influx user password command to update a password for a user. Provide the following:

  • An operator token using your influx CLI connection configuration, INFLUX_TOKEN environment variable, or the --token, -t flag.
  • The username (with the --name, -n flag) or the user ID (with the --id, -i flag). View usernames and IDs in the output of influx user list.
  • Optional: the --password, -p flag and the new password. If you don’t provide a password flag, enter the new password when prompted.
